NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 100 all-new super-simple and incredibly delicious one-pot, one-pan, one-sheet—one-everything!—recipes from the star food writer and bestselling author of Dinner in French. ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: Food & Wine
Melissa Clark brings her home cook’s expertise and no-fuss approach to the world of one-pot/pan cooking. With nearly all of the recipes being made in under one hour, the streamlined steps ensure you are in and out of the kitchen without dirtying a multitude of pans or spending more time than you need to on dinner.
Expect to find a bevy of sheet-pan suppers (Miso-Glazed Salmon with Roasted Sugar Snap Peas), skillet dinners (Cheesy Meatball Parm with Spinach), Instant Pot® pinch hitters (Cheaters Chicken and Dumplings), comforting casseroles (Herby Artichoke and Gruyere Bread Pudding) that you can assemble right in the baking dish, crowd-pleasing one-pot pasta meals (Gingery Coconut Noodles with Shrimp and Greens), vegetable-forward mains, and dozens of tips for turning a vegetarian or meat-based recipe vegan. And since no dinner is complete without dessert, you'll find a chapter of one-bowl cakes, too—from an Easy Chocolate Fudge Torte to a Ricotta-Olive Oil Pound Cake.
These are simple, delicious recipes for weekdays, busy evenings, and any time you need to get a delicious, inspiring meal on the table quickly—with as little clean-up as possible. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this cookbook is generally well liked for its tasty, adaptable, and comforting recipes, with strong praise for the photos and layout; some reviewers note that a few recipes take longer or require more prep than expected. Goodreads readers echo that the food is often delicious and well explained, but opinions are mixed on whether it is truly quick and simple, with some calling it more intermediate than beginner-friendly. On Reddit, home cooks describe making their way through the book and report that several dishes are quick, simple, and family-approved, while a Substack review calls out standout recipes like the mushrooms with gnocchi and eggplant rice pilaf as especially impressive. Cookbook review blogs also describe it as a practical, flavorful resource for weeknight cooking with minimal fuss.
